Goat Yoga

From beginners to experts, all enjoy practicing yoga with
goats as their exercise buddies. Goat Yoga combines the benefits of yoga
with animal therapy. Different than a studio environment, goat yoga is
more relaxed and casual yet still provides a good work-out for the experienced
yoga enthusiast. No one will be offended if you stop to cuddle or play
with a goat; after all, that is part of the experience! In fact, some
folks completely abandon the yoga aspect and spend their time playing with a
goat.....great animal therapy!! The class is conducted in a fenced
area; during class, the goats roam freely and do their own thing: some want to
be petted, some want to lie down next to you and nap, some want to sit in your
lap, others just want to stand beside you. If you are getting too much
goat attention, just raise your hand and we will re-direct the goat; if you
want more attention, no problem, we will give you a “treat” to offer your exercise
buddy.

We have been told one of the reasons everyone likes Goat for
the Soul is the relaxed, casual atmosphere.

Here are some tips:

•All experience levels are welcome. Usually
the more experienced sit toward the front.

•Do goats bite? In their upper jaw, goats
only have teeth in the back. In their lower jaw, they have teeth in the
front and the back. Goats are excellent nibblers, but not much on
biting.

•No one will be offended if you stop to cuddle or
play with a goat; after all, that is part of the experience.......some folks
completely abandon the yoga aspect and spend their time playing with a
goat.....great animal therapy!!

•Bring an old towel or yoga mat. Goats
think towels & mats are fascinating and like to nibble.....and sometimes
nature calls right when they are standing on your towel...oops!
